And if you have Ford pass to start with. Not on my XLT. I'm happy with the range I have.

And all of which is personal or situational in nature. Any of the cars with Sync 3 (2017 and newer) has that capability built in. if you don't have a signal or network connection, does not mean that the vehicle does not have that capability. It is there but your situation prevents that from working. And I also started my truck using my phone from my 6th floor hotel room while roaming and it still worked great!

Got some new snow shoes on the weekend.

Yokohama Ice Guard IG51V's - 265/70/R17.

WAY better then the worn Coopers I had previously, and going from 255/70/R17 to 265/70/R17 fills the wheel wells a little more and gives a beefier look.

The tires are sooooo smooth compared to my 20" summers with the Hankooks, and I never realized how choppy the Coops had gotten.

I feel like I'm driving on marshmallows!

New Yoko's on the left, and old Coops on the right:

My issue is that there is no cell signal when I park at work, so FordPass would be useless, plus, I will need to install SyncConnect since my truck came without it.
The new 2-way remote can start the truck from the window by my desk, so it's nice and warm by the time I get to it!

Default Sealing truck cap to rear window

I removed the Truk-Boot from between the cap and rear cab window. It worker OK over the summer but now with the leaves falling and the big temperature change during the day it would swell up and contract. I got some foam pipe insulation and stuffed it between the cab and the cap all around the edge of rear window. This will seal between the cap and cab to keep the leaves from getting between them. I now have a clear view out the back window again. The pipe insulation come in a 4 pack so I immediately knew I would need 5 pieces. I bought two sizes to see which would fit better. The larger size fit better and I was able to use short pieces of the smaller stuff to join the 4 foot sections together with no gaps.It's hard to see the pipe insulation after it's installed both inside and from the outside. I'll see how it works.

I don't know how long this link will last. If it doesn't work then get on Ebay and search for

Mini DC-DC 12-24V To 5V 3A Step Down Power Module Buck Converter

I love these little converters. I use them with my arduino projects.

Heres a better link. 10 for 5 bucks and free shipping

The bumper bolts on with the factory hitch, just needed to do move the connecting harness over a bit but that was easy. Just relocated the tabs and ran it on top of the spare tire instead of under it.
it's a 3.5EB with tow package only so factory numbers still apply
